Real Tj-pes in Burke Play.
An item of special note in the Billie
Burke Paramount production," "The
Land of Promise," is the display of re
markable types in even the most un
important types. As most of the action
was supposed to take place in 'yestern
Canada, Director Joseph Kaufman and
Billie Burke, star, decided that no "ten
derfeet" Eastern actors should intrude
their monocles and wrist watches
where there should be rugged strength
and work-roughened hands. For this
purpose most of the small parts were
played by native farmers of Canada,
from different parts of Manitoba.

Screen Gossip.
"The Auction Block" is the fourth
Rex Beach story to be filmed. "The
Spoilers," "The Ne'er Do Well" and
"The Barrier" were all big cinema sue
cesses in Portland, these all being
stories of the big outdoors. "The Auc
tion Block" has to do entirely with
city life and is entirely different in
theme from his first three film produc
tions.
Rex Beach personally supervised the
filming or "The Auction Block and
wrote the snappy sub-titles.
Eric Mayne, Charlotte Granville and
Ethel Burke have roles with Olive Tell
in "The Girl and the Judge." David
Powell is male lead of this Empire All
Star feature. ,
Rita Dane, prima donna, has decided
to plunge into pictures. She tried out
as an extra with Goldwyn recently, and
has been cast in a Mabel Normand
forthcoming release.
It was being told around the Metro
studio that Francis X. Bushman, who
holds 13 medals for bicycle races, kept
a close eye on the six-day race at
Madison Square Garden.
Pauline Frederick is said to have a
winning way with owls. In the film
Ing of "Jealousy" one was used, which
showed a dislike for every one but the
Paramount star.
William Fox will have a record of
105 pictures made during 1917, using
8000 miles of film for them.
Olive Tell, who is making a series of

which Clara Kimball Young's company
is finishing, was painfully burned
about the head, arms and shoulders re

Rochelle, where the company is work
ing.
A coincident in connection with the
screening of "The Song of Songs,
Elsie Ferguson's new Artcraft picture,
is the fact that Frank Losee, who now
appears. In the chief supporting role to
the star in the film, was scheduld to
portray that character on the - stage
three years ago. On account of sudden
illness Mr. Losee could not fulfill his
stage engagement and when the film
was announced recently the actor made
his application to portray the part over
which he had spent many -hours of
study. In view of his past record on
the stage ' and screen, Mr. Losee was
immediately engaged for the film.
Joseph Waddell, for several years a
cameraman at the Universal studios, is
now with the aviatfon corps of the
United States in training In Italy. In a
recent letter he said that he expected
to see service soon and it is possible
that he participated in the fighting
during the present German drive.
, Vivian Martin, talented and charm
ing Paramount star, has solved the
problem of time-saving in the business
of knitting sweaters for soldiers,
i When not actively engaged on a
scene. Miss Martin does her own knit
ting, but while she is' rehearsing or
appearing before the camera, she turns
the job over to her maid who takes it
up without dropping a stitch. Thus a
